What about the handmade works of "King of Woodworking" Zhu Youxiao? Is there a craftsman spirit?

Zhu Youxiao is known as the so-called Master Lu Ban in the imperial world, and he has a strong craftsman spirit. We all know that Zhu Youxiao is really not a good king, because he was 16 years old when he ascended the throne, but his parents didn't receive a good education, so he said that he was basically illiterate in Zhu Youxiao, and he couldn't understand the meaning of the letters written by those ministers, so he was just blind. But although he can't be an emperor, he is a good carpenter. He successfully invented the 1 folding bed in the world and made a small ornamental fountain by himself.

During his reign, he didn't really want to be an emperor himself, so he was indifferent to political affairs and lacked his own ability. He has little education and management methods, and is basically like an illiterate. He can't govern this country well, or he is willing but unable. But when it comes to work, he was definitely a master of the imperial court at that time. I feel that even the first craftsman of the Ming Dynasty at that time was not necessarily worse than Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao might even be better than him.

Zhu Youxiao's craft can be said to be worth learning by all craftsmen. Although the emperor basically ignored state affairs, he was very good at carpentry. He is basically obsessed with woodwork and painting. He often studies those things day and night. He often ponders the drawings and makes woodwork by himself. His level was comparable to that of Luban at that time.

He also invented the 1 folding bed in the world, which can carve wood into lifelike puppet figures, and he also made a fountain similar to viewing. Just press a certain mechanism, the water column can be ejected from the wood, which is very beautiful. Zhu Youxiao also likes to build palaces. The palaces in those palaces were all built under his guidance. It can be said that he is also a master of architecture. But it is a pity that he is an emperor. He sat in the position of emperor, but chose to be a carpenter instead of doing business. It's ironic to think about it now.
